There's no better way to enjoy a normal cup of coffee than by turning it into jelly! Vietnamese coffee is known to be strong and is typically served as a light dessert, but it can be served in any shape or form. This unique spin turns it into Vietnamese coffee jelly with a drizzle of condensed milk on top. —Tam To, Los Angeles, California
